Masturbation is forbidden (), and what is discharged afterwards is semen (mani), which necessitates (ritual bath). (state of ritual impurity) is caused by the emission of semen or sexual intercourse. Neglecting ghusl after janabah is a grave sin, and the prayers offered while in a state of janabah are invalid. One must repent and make up for all those prayers. If a Muslim cannot ascertain the exact number of prayers, they must strive to estimate and make up what will lead to certainty or strong presumption that their obligation has been fulfilled.
